CrownsCrowns are sometimes referred to as caps. They are laboratory prepared restorations that fit over specially prepared teeth.

Crowns are placed on teeth that require extra protection. This may be because of the tooth being chipped, the tooth having a very large filling or following root canal treatment where a crown protects what is left of the remaining tooth.

Crowns can also help improve the appearance of a tooth by changing the shape and colour of the tooth.
